The ACG Cup Atlanta CityWide Competition – April 4th!
By Stuart Johnson, Barnes & Thornburg LLP

Designed to enable local chapters forge closer relationships with leading business schools, the ACG Cup competitions introduce future business leaders to ACG and serve to deepen relationships with the business community. As part of ACG Atlanta’s community service initiative, ACG’s national business case study competition was initiated in Atlanta in January 2008.

Three local business schools - Georgia Tech, The University of Georgia, and the Goizueta Business School at Emory University - joined 70 other schools throughout the country and hosted ACG Cup competitions. Each of these schools recruited student teams to engage in a real-world investment banking case study. Participating teams reviewed a fact pattern and made a presentation to judges, who filled the role of executives of 'Holdco' on Holdco's strategic options.The winning teams from Georgia Tech, University of Georgia , and Emory will meet again on April 4th at the Emory’s Goizueta Business School, and one of those teams will be crowned the 2009 Atlanta ACG Cup winner.
